Gordon Lightfoot - A augmentedA Passing Ship


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO:: G+G  C/GC/G  G+G  C/GC/G  G+G

VERSE 1::
        C/GC/G          G+G
A augmentedA passing ship, I have found the open ocean
        C/GC/G              G+G  D MajorD
Give me no lip, the waves roll by as I press on
       C/GC/G         G+G    D MajorD
A augmentedA sunlit sea, on the first day in April
          C/GC/G            G+G
How fresh the wind, will you miss me when I'm gone

VERSE 2::
        C/GC/G           G+G
How many words, how many songs still unwritten
       C/GC/G            G+G   D MajorD
How many ships of the line have come and gone
           C/GC/G          G+G    D MajorD
In the good old days, may they never be forgotten
          C/GC/G           G+G
They had heavy wind or they had no wind at all


INSTRUMENTAL:: G+G D MajorD  FF C majorC  G+G


VERSE 3::
        C/GC/G          G+G
A augmentedA passing ship, it is midnight on the ocean
           C/GC/G           G+G    D MajorD
Had a real long trip, I have been at sea all winter
           C/GC/G         G+G   D MajorD
When my ship came in, I was giving up the ghost
          C/GC/G              G+G
I think I should be leaving those passing ships alone


VERSE 4::
            C/GC/G             G+G
When the sea runs high, the sea runs wild and I'm unsteady
          C/GC/G               G+G    D MajorD
And I think of you, in the warmth of your home and family
         C/GC/G          G+G    D MajorD
When love is true, there is no truer occupation
         C/GC/G           G+G
And may this gale, blow us to the ones we love


VERSE 5::
      C/GC/G   G+G
Another day, another ocean
        C/GC/G             G+G  D MajorD
Give me no lip, but stand aside as I press on
       C/GC/G          G+G   D MajorD
A augmentedA sunlit sea, on the last day in October
          C/GC/G            G+G   D MajorD
How fresh the wind, will you miss me from now on
          C/GC/G           G+G
I guess I should be leaving passing ships alone
